St Patrick's Athletic secured a 2-1 victory last night over Sligo Rovers - with the winning goal coming from a very unlikely source.

Pat's hit the front through Jake Keegan before being pegged back by a Mikey Drennan goal for the home side as they went in tied 1-1 at the break.

The Saints were then awarded a 58th minute penalty for a foul on Simon Madden, but without regular set-piece specialists Conan Byrne and Killian Brennan on the pitch, it looked like new French striker Achille Campion was shaping up to hit the spot kick.

But then, 32-year-old goalkeeper Brendan Clarke came charging up the pitch, and assumed the responsibility himself.
